Bring your son to chase after your wife, please go home

Chapter 151 The Red Light Ghost
Xu Yan's family is in the east of Chuzhou City.

Baili Changge and Ye Hen arrived in the carriage for half an hour.

Xu Yan sat in a wheelchair all year round because of his inconvenient legs and feet, so he rented a shop on the pedestrian street, made Kongming lanterns, and sold some writing brushes and ink to make money.

The two brothers Xu Yan and Xu Luo only moved to Chuzhou City in the past two years. Xu Yan wanted his brother to get a good name in the exam, so he invested all the money he earned from opening the shop into Xu Luo's studies.

These things were inquired about by Baili Changge after he got off the carriage and asked the aunt who sold vegetables on the street.

After listening to it, she felt a burst of emotion. She never thought that Xu Yan would still be full of confidence in his fame and career after experiencing the fraud case three years ago. He would never be able to fulfill it in this life, so he could only pin all his wishes on his brother.

No wonder the aunt said that Xu Yan was very kind to his brother and never let him do any rough work. If he had money, he would eat and drink first. Give Xu Luo first.

Baili Changge looked sideways at Ye Hen, "It seems that you have missed a pillar of the country."

Ye Hen pursed his lips and said nothing.

The two arrived at Xu Yan's shop one after the other.

From a distance, I saw Xu Yan in a neat blue shirt sitting in a wheelchair, holding a half-finished Kongming lantern in his hand, with an extremely dazed expression.

This appearance, Baili Changge always felt very familiar, she squinted her eyes and thought for a while, and finally overlapped Xu Yan's expression with the expression she saw Pan Yang at Qin Dai's house that day.

In the bizarre case of martyrdom at the altar, they all lost their true loves, one was the fiancée who was about to get married, and the other was the brother who had depended on each other for decades.

For Xu Yan, once Xu Luo died, all the painstaking efforts he had devoted to him would be in vain.

Sighing helplessly again, Baili Changge slowly stepped forward and called softly, "Second Young Master Xu?"

Xu Yan came back to his senses in an instant, and after seeing the faces of Baili Changge and Ye Hen clearly, there was no emotion on his face, he just asked lightly: "His Royal Highness Prince Jin came here in person, but my brother's case has been settled. ?”

"Can we visit Xu Luo's room?" Without waiting for Ye Hen to speak, Baili Changge quickly got to the point. She understood that Ye Hen had been feeling guilty for what happened three years ago, but at this time, the case was important and it was not suitable for remembrance past.

"This..." Xu Yan hesitated a little.

"Don't worry, the money you lost will be paid by the lord himself." Baili Changge could see his concerns, and said, "Second Master Xu also very much wants Eldest Master Xu to rest in peace under the Nine Springs, right?"

Xu Yan lowered his eyes and did not speak again.

Baili Changge went in to help him pack and arrange things, and asked while collecting, "Does Mr. Xu like the altar flame at the foot of Qinglian Mountain like those merchants?"

"Probably he likes it a little bit, otherwise why would he go to the altar that night?" Xu Yan turned his wheelchair and sat by the door, staring at the snow-covered mountain peak in the distance.

Baili Changge paused for arranging things, and looked at Xu Yan's back.

At this time, the sunlight came in obliquely, and the whole shop was warm, only his back against the light was indescribably desolate and lonely.

Baili Changge thought that when she first met Ye Hen, she did not see such backs uncommonly. Although she had not personally experienced the pain of losing her beloved one, she could understand the sourness in their hearts.

"Then, what unusual behavior did Eldest Master Xu do a few days before the accident?" Baili Changge turned his head and didn't want to look any further.

"I can't say it's abnormal." Xu Yandao: "It's just that he was a little absent-minded in studying in those two days. I thought he was sick, so I invited a doctor to see him. Afterwards, he only prescribed a few tranquilizers. The doctor said that he might be the cause of the two. Caused by being too tired."

"I heard that Xu Ergongzi never asks the eldest son to do any rough work. Even in the shop, you never ask him to help. If it's just for studying, you won't be overtired, right?" Baili Changge thought From what the vegetable seller said, I felt that Xu Yan might be hiding something.

"Then I don't know." Xu Yan replied lightly.

"Xu Yan and Pan Yang are both students of Qinglian Academy, do they have any contact with each other?"

"Pan Yang came to our house once." Xu Yan recalled: "I remember that he brought a lot of books and said he wanted to ask his brother for advice. I saw that they were discussing academic problems, so I didn't ask much. "

"Besides that, the two of them have no relationship anymore?" For some reason, Baili Changge always felt that Xu Yan seemed to be hiding something.

"No." Xu Yan shook his head lightly.

"Do you know Qin Dai?" Ye Hen, who had been standing outside the door, suddenly walked in, stood beside Xu Yan, and looked at him with slightly lowered eyes. The moon-white brocade robe was extremely dazzling under the warm sun, and the pale gold on the robe Passion lotus is even more eye-catching.As soon as he entered the door, he asked a nonsensical question.

"I've heard of it." Xu Yan's tone was not the least bit turbulent, "She is a well-known luthier in Chuzhou City, and she is married to Pan Yang's fingertips. Who in this place has not heard of her name?"

While the two were talking, Baili Changge had packed up everything and walked to the door.

Xu Yan took out the key and locked the door before leading them home.

His house is not far from the shop, just a hundred steps away. From the outside, it looks like an extremely simple courtyard, which is different from the usual flat-roofed houses in Chuzhou. Xu Yan’s house is a quadrangle courtyard that is common in Beijing. .

When you enter the door, you can see the green bamboo forest all over the courtyard. Presumably, he planted it for making Kongming lanterns. Baili Changge looked at those straight and slender bamboos, and he couldn't help but think of a person in his mind.

According to the legend, that person only moves in the dark, and every night he carries a red light to look at the sky cliff, just like a ghost.

She has never seen that person before, and she doesn't know his name. She only knows that he is a man. Since he can climb the sky cliff, he must have the best lightness kung fu.

Brushing the long and slender bamboo leaves with his fingertips, Baili Changge chuckled and said, "Second Master Xu, if you hang red lights in your shop, I will almost recognize you as someone else."

"Oh?" Xu Yan slowed down the wheelchair and asked her, "Does your lord know anyone who loves these green bamboos as much as I do?"

"That person..." Baili Changge smiled, and said with a very mysterious expression: "He probably doesn't like bamboo, he just likes to destroy bamboo."

Behind him, Ye Hen's complexion changed again and again, and even his breathing became a little disordered. In the brocade sleeve, the slender fingers slightly convulsed for a moment and then let go.

Baili Changge walked in front, so naturally he didn't notice the change in his expression at that moment.
